" The Truth shall set you free "

The Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) has expelled Cristina “Tenny” Manalo, the widow of INC’s former executive minister Eraño “Erdy” Manalo, and their son, Felix Nathaniel “Angel,” an INC minister announced on Thursday.

In a press conference, INC General Evangelist Bienvenido Santiago said the INC leadership decided to expel the two from the general membership of the INC after they appeared in a YouTube video claiming their lives are in danger and that some ministers have allegedly been abducted.

According to Santiago, there is no truth to the claims of Tenny and Angel.

Angel’s elder brother, Eduardo, is the present executive minister of the powerful INC, which has at least 2.2 million members. Eduardo took over as executive minister after the death of his father Eraño in 2009.
